Aquaculture Products Market Report 2026

The aquaculture products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $36.86 billion in 2025 to $39.57 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expanding global seafood consumption, increasing adoption of traditional aquaculture inputs, rising availability of coastal and inland farming zones, growth in small-scale fish farming, rising usage of basic fertilizers and water treatment chemicals.

The aquaculture products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.05 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for premium aquaculture inputs, expansion of intensive and controlled aquaculture systems, increasing commercialization of aquatic plant farming, rising focus on biosecure aquaculture practices, growing investment in health management pharmaceuticals. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high-performance aquaculture feed and fertilizers, increasing adoption of advanced water quality management solutions, expansion of disease prevention and health management products, rising use of automated feeding and monitoring equipment, greater focus on sustainable inputs for aquatic animal and plant farming.

The growing global demand for seafood is expected to drive the expansion of the aquaculture products market going forward. Seafood refers to any edible marine life harvested from oceans, rivers, lakes, or other water bodies. The global demand for seafood is increasing due to rising awareness of its health benefits, population growth, and shifting dietary preferences toward protein-rich, sustainable food sources. Aquatic products are used in seafood production to support the farming, harvesting, and processing of fish, shellfish, and other marine species for consumption. For example, in 2024, according to the NSW Government, an Australia-based administrative authority, Australia’s fisheries exports saw a modest rise of 2.4%, reaching $1.34 billion in 2023-24. Therefore, the rising global demand for seafood is fueling the growth of the aquaculture products market.

Key players in the aquaculture products market are focusing on developing innovative natural mineral products to enhance water quality, improve fish health, and promote sustainable farming practices. Natural mineral aquaculture products consist of mineral-based substances that help improve aquatic environments and the health of farmed species. For instance, in January 2024, Refit Animal Care, an aquaculture company based in India, launched a product called Ziobind - Zeolite, aimed at transforming fish farming practices in the region. Ziobind employs zeolite, a natural mineral known for its ability to absorb harmful substances from water, such as ammonia. This product helps maintain optimal water conditions, reducing stress on fish and promoting better growth rates.

In July 2024, Merck Animal Health, a U.S.-based veterinary company, acquired Elanco's aqua business for $1.3 billion. This acquisition significantly enhances Merck Animal Health's capabilities in the aquaculture sector, enabling the company to better serve its customers and drive innovation in fish health and welfare solutions. Elanco Animal Health Incorporated is a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company that offers aquaculture products and solutions for both warm and cold water species.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on aquaculture inputs such as equipment, fertilizers, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals are increasing import costs and limiting affordability for producers, particularly in emerging aquaculture hubs across Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. Segments including aerators, feeding systems, water treatment chemicals, and vaccines are most affected due to their reliance on global supply chains. While tariffs raise operational expenses and slow technology adoption, they also create opportunities for domestic manufacturers to expand local production capacity and reduce import dependence, strengthening regional aquaculture ecosystems.
